Definitions
- the present invention relates to an ink storing type writing instrument according to the first part of claim 1 (GB-A-2194138).
- a pen for applying adhesive comprising a refill which has its front end closed by a thin film.
- a pointed member is supported to rupture the thin film upon insertion of the refill into the pen housing which is closed thereafter by a screw cap.
- the body of such writing instrument comprises a pen barrel made of a synthetic resin accommodating therein a wadding which is impregnated with ink, and a writing tip 3 firmly fitted in and secured to a through-hole provided in the front end of the pen barrel, the rear end of the writing tip being immersed in the wadding.
- the pen barrel has at its rear end a tail plug fitted therein for preventing leakage of the ink, and at its front end a removable cap for covering the writing tip.
- Such type of writing instrument enables a writing with a relatively wide writing width due to uniform permeation of the ink from the wadding to capillary gaps defined within the writing tip.
- the writing instrument having a fibrous writing tip consumes a larger amount of ink due to a relatively wide writing width as described above.
- its writing distance is significantly shorter than that of the writing instruments having a metallic writing tip or ball-point writing tip.
- a normal size writing instrument of this type presents a writing distance of approximately 100 m to 140 m at most.
- the pen barrel and the writing tip must be designed to satisfactorily withstand a writing distance more than 1000 m, in order to meet a required level of mechanical strength. Accordingly, the disposal of an entire writing instrument only for the reason of consumption of ink is a waste of materials from a viewpoint of effective utilization of resources.
- the ink when the ink is used up, a new refill is fitted into the hollow defined within the pen barrel after removal of a used refill, to thereby cause the rear end of the writing tip to enter the interior of the new refill for plunging into the wadding.
- the ink is led to the writing tip to enable the writing by the instrument.
- the refill 7 comprises a body 8 and an internal wadding 9.
- the body 8 is, for example, a substantially cylindrical injection molding of a synthetic resin which includes an opening 11 formed at its front end and annular first and second stoppers 12 and 13 which protrude on the outer surface of the body 8.
- the first stopper 12 is semicircular in cross section
- the second stopper 13 is rectangular in cross section.
- the wadding 9 in the body 8 is impregnated with an ink in a manner similar to that in the conventional writing instrument described earlier.
- the front opening 11 is closed by a sealing sheet 10 made of a thin film.
- the sealing sheet 10 is fashioned into a circle with its outer periphery partially having a lip 14.
- the sealing sheet may be made of a laminated film of aluminum and a synthetic resin, and can be attached to the front end of the body 8 by means of, for example, welding or adhesive bonding.
- the sealing sheet 10 is first peeled from the front end of the body 8 as shown in Fig. 2 by grasping the lip 14. It will be appreciated that this sealing sheet 10 serves to prevent the evaporation of ink during the storage as well as a possible slip-out of the wadding 9 from within the refill 7.
- the refill 7 is forced into a hollow 15 defined within a pen barrel 1 of the writing instrument with the opening 11 ahead, and is so positioned that the second stopper 13 is brought into contact with the rear end of the pen barrel 1 as indicated by a chain double-dashed line.
- the pen barrel 1 has in the vicinity of its rear end an annular groove 16 circumferentially extending along the inner surface defining the hollow 15.
- the annular groove 16 is adapted to receive the first stopper 12 when the second stopper 13 abuts against the rear end of the pen barrel 1, thereby establishing a secure engagement of the refill 7 with the barrel 1.
- the rear end 3b of a writing tip 3 protruding rearward into the hollow 15 is caused to plunge into the wadding 9 to lead the ink existing within the wadding into the writing tip 3, thus enabling a writing by use of this instrument.
- the used refill 7 is removed rearwardly and replaced with a new one in the same procedure as described above.
- the use of this writing instrument can be made until its pen barrel 1 or writing tip 3 is damaged.
- the body of the refill is shaped into a circular cylinder in the above embodiment, it may be formed into a square or rectangular cylinder. Further, the refill may be screwed to the pen barrel instead of making use of the engagement of the stoppers and groove.
- a refill 7 comprises a substantially cylindrical body 8 which is injection molded from a synthetic resin, and a wadding 9 being impregnated with ink and adapted to be received in the body 8.
- the body 8 includes front and rear ends 8a and 8b each being closed, and annular first and second stoppers 12 and 13 protruding on the body 8.
- the front end 8a is comprised of a laminated thin film of aluminum and a synthetic resin attached to the front end of the body 8 by welding or adhesive bonding.
- the thin film front end 8 is designed to be ruptured by forcible sticking as described later.
- the body of the writing instrument comprises a pen barrel 1 including a hollow 15 therein and having in the vicinity of its rear end an annular groove 16 extending along the inner surface of the pen barrel 1 defining the hollow 15.
- the barrel 1 fixedly receives at its front end a writing tip 3 projecting rearward into the hollow 15.
- the writing tip 3 has at its rear end a hardened pointed member 20 fixedly secured thereto by, for example, press fitting.
- the pointed member 20 is preferably made of, for example, a polyacetal resin.
- the tip 3 is firmly engaged with a shoulder 21 to prevent a forward displacement of the tip 3 due to a forward force which is exerted on the tip 3 as described hereinbelow.
- the writing tip 3 includes in a portion toward its rear end a longitudinally extending vent groove 22 for the ventilation.
- the refill 7 is configured to be loaded into the interior of the pen barrel 1 through an opening formed at the rear end of the pen barrel 1 of the writing instrument body.
- the used refill is discarded through the rear end of the pen barrel 1, and then a new one is fitted into the hollow 15 of the barrel 1 through the rear end of the writing instrument to a position where the second stopper 13 comes into contact with the rear end of the pen barrel 1 as indicated by a chain double-dashed line in FIG. 4.
- the annular groove 16 circumferentially extending in the region of the rear end of the pen barrel 1 along its inner surface defining the hollow 15, the first stopper 12 is caused to be fitted into the groove 16 to thereby lock the refill 7 with the body of the writing instrument when the second stopper 13 abuts against the rear end of the pen barrel 1.
- the pointed member 20 located at the rear end of the writing tip 3 ruptures the thin film 8a resting at the front end of the refill 7 and plunges into the wadding 9.
- the ink existing within the wadding 9 is led into the writing tip 3, making it possible to carry out a writing by the use of this instrument.
- the pressures outside and inside the pen barrel 1 are well balanced with each other by virtue of the vent groove 22.
- the used refill 7 can be repeatedly replaced with a new one in the same manner as described earlier, to thereby permit the writing instrument to be used until the pen barrel 1 or the writing tip is damaged. This embodiment will facilitate the replacement of the refill as compared with the preceding embodiment.
